Tire size for those with 20 inch rims

i see some ppl do 245/35/20 F and 275/30/20 R, and some do 255/35/20 F and 285/30/20 R...

i plan on getting a set of volk gt-c in 20x9.5 F and 20x10.5 R, what tire size do you guys reccomend? I do not want to roll my fenders, and i dont want the rear wheel to look like it sticks out too much. My car is sitting on tein s-techs for the g35coupe, and i want the tire to tuck a lil if possible...

and will revonline allow you to choose 35 series for front and 30 for the rear? because they said it will come with 35 for both front and rear, was wondering if ppl who have ordered from them are able to pick the front and rear profiles?

yeah, i see a lot of 245/35/20 and 275/30/20 (I actually had those. haha). Is it possible to put 275/35/20 in the rear? How come people use 30's in the back and 35's in the front?

I have 255/35/20 and 285/30/20 on mine. It'll also depend on what tires you get. I have Falken GRB FK-451 on mine. The front is perfect, the rears are a little stretched. For some reason, Falken's 285 isn't as wide as some others.

you've seen pictures of my car.. nitto nt555 245/35 and 275/30, no rolling, no rubbing and I am pretty low.

running a 35 series on a 275 tire will make the sidewall much larger in the back and it will look off, stock to a 30 profile, it's plenty big. if you are doing 10.5 wide wheel, you can stretch a 275 tire on it and depending on the volk's offsets, you should be able to tuck it.

turbomaxima, the offsets that the place suggested me to get was +29 for the front and +24 for the rear, is this good or no? He said i wont need to roll my fenders or have rubbing issues at all and i should get about a 4 to 4.25" lip on the back?
